Abstract:
The difference between the predicted versus achieved data volume returned by the Mars Exploration Rover relay link impacted the daily planning of rover driving and science data collection. This problem can be alleviated by refining the operations and science data return planning process. This should reflect a priority scheme based on (1) a minimum volume requirement (30 Mb for MER) and (2) a daily assumption of achieving a data volume level of one sigma (1 standard deviation) less than the predicted volume.
